Definition: A relation on a set A is an equivalence relation if it is reflexive,<br />
symmetric, and transitive. Two elements a and b that are related by an<br />
equivalence relation are called equivalent and denoted a~b.<br />
Examples:<br />
• Let A = Z. Define aRb if and only if either a = b or a = 4b.<br />
o symmetric: aRa since a = a.<br />
o reflexive: aRb E bRa since a = ±b.<br />
o transitive: aRb and bRc E aRc since a = ±b = ±c.<br />
• Let A = R. Define aRb if and only if a4b,Z.<br />
o symmetric: aRa since a4a = 0,Z.<br />
o reflexive: aRb E bRa since a4b,Z E 4(a4b) = b4a,Z.<br />
o transitive: aRb and bRc E aRc since (a4b)+(b4c) ,Z E a4c,Z.<br />
